Pharma& Schwiez submitted the highest bid at the auction, according to a regulatory filing, and will pay $70 million upfront for rights to Rubraca, which is approved in the U.S. for prostate and ovarian cancers. The company could pay another $65 million if certain regulatory and sales milestones are later met.

The sale is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, where Clovis filed in December 2022 for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
